Queen - Tenement Funster video free download

From the 'Sheer Heart Attack' album, 1974. Written by Roger Taylor.

Roger Taylor sang the lead vocals. Backing track consisted of Taylor's drums, Mercury's piano, Deacon's bass and May's Red Special guitar. It's a typical Taylor track about youth and rebellion. It also includes echo effects with May's guitar, like in "Brighton Rock". The last couple of guitar notes overlap into "Flick Of The Wrist".

Lyrics:

My new purple shoes, bin amazin the people next door

And my rock n roll 45's, bin enragin the folks on the lower floor

I got a way with girls on my block

Try my best be a real individual

And when we go down to smokies and rock

They line up like its some kinda ritual

Oh give me a good guitar, and you can say that my hairs a disgrace

Or, just give me an open car, Ill make the speed of light outta this place

I like the good things in life

But most of the best things aint free

And this same situation, just cuts like a knife

When youre young, and youre poor, and youre crazy

But oh, give me a good guitar, and you can say that my hairs a disgrace

Or, just give me an open car, Ill make the speed of light outta this place...
